burning smell
has anyone in MY16 noticed burning smell coming also into the cabin but most prominent from the area of the gearbox outside of the vehicle after faster run?
do I have to start worrying? I had this before less intense but I was thinking it is new parts burning up the fresh paint or something on or around them ...

I get this sometimes after a fast run - I have put it down to DPF regeneration as is was accompanied by a hot-metal-cooling clicking sound when I got out of the car. might be wrong though Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond

Out of interest do all 3.0 D4's have the DPF or only newer ones?

2010 was the first of the Fl2s having DPF as standard fit, my 60 reg 11MY was the first DPF car I had. I assume the rest of the range would be similar.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
